Selection Sunday has given us a bracket! Aaron Torres and Nick Coffey are here to break down everything from Selection Sunday. As soon as the bracket was released, the guys pressed record to give you an hour of analysis — who won, who lost, who got screwed and what upsets will happen this March. Here is a full rundown of the show:

Did any of the top seeds have a gripe? Aaron and Nick talk about the race for the four No. 1 seeds, and after three ACC teams ended up on the No. 1 line, did anyone get screwed? Aaron says no, although he does mention that one No. 2 seed got an unfair draw after a big championship week.

A Breakdown of Each Region: The guys go bracket by bracket, talking about their favorite matchups. Aaron explains why he believes that Duke finally got a challenging draw, but can anyone in the East beat them? The West is weird where three of the top four seeds are the same as last year. Aaron also explains why Tennessee got screwed, and why he believes the Midwest is the toughest region. Are we on a collision course for Kentucky-North Carolina in the Elite Eight?

Upset City: Who will be Cinderella this year? Nick and Aaron predict which top seeds will be knocked out early.

It is the greatest week of the year, and on this episode of the Aaron Torres Sports Podcast, Aaron gets you ready for all the major conference tournaments. Who will end up with No. 1 seeds? What bubble games matter? And what to make of the race in the SEC? Aaron’s got you taken care of. Here is a rundown of the show:

Will Zion Be Back? How Does it Impact the No. 1 Seed Picture: It’s the question everyone in college basketball wants to know — will we see Zion Williamson back on the sidelines in the ACC Tournament? Aaron explains why he’s still not sure if it’ll happen and what it will mean for the No. 1 seed picture. Aaron also explains why the ACC won’t get three No. 1 seeds.

Major Conference Tournament Preview: Aaron previews all of the big storylines ahead of the Big 12, Big East, Pac-12 and Big Ten Tournaments. What are the big bubble games? Will the Pac-12 only get one bid? And is the Big 12 over-hyped by the media?

What Will Happen in the SEC? Aaron wraps by talking SEC Tournament. He discusses the impact that Reid Travis has on Kentucky, when he expects Travis back and what it means for UK. Also, why LSU is the most fascinating team in Nashville, why Florida and Alabama still have work to do, and is there one bubble team no one is talking about?

The final weekend of the college basketball season has come and gone, and oh boy, there is a lot to talk about on this Aaron Torres Sports Podcast. Aaron discusses the entire weekend that was, including:

The Latest at LSU: Aaron takes a deep dive into LSU. Why suspending Will Wade was the wrong move for LSU and why Aaron would have let him keep coaching. Also, why he likes LSU embracing the role of college basketball’s “bad boys.” Aaron also explains why if you’re mad at LSU for cheating, you better be mad at Kansas, Duke and Arizona as well.

Why the ACC Won’t Get Three No. 1 Seeds: Aaron talks about the idiotic new storyline the ACC will get three No. 1 seeds. He wonders why everyone is so positive that Zion Williamson comes back and why, even if he does, that doesn’t guarantee Duke will win enough to get a No. 1. Also why Kentucky, Tennessee and Michigan State are all more likely to get a No. 1 seed than a third ACC squad.

A Crazy College Basketball Weekend: A look at the rest of the weekend includes why 2019 might be one of John Calipari’s best coaching jobs yet, the incredible story of Texas Tech’s rise to Big 12 champ under Chris Beard and Sean Miller’s bizarre comments following Arizona’s season finale on Saturday. Did Miller’s speech hint that he expects to be gone this off-season?

It’s a new episode of the Aaron Torres Sports Podcast, and oh what an episode it is, as Aaron is joined by former Louisville head coach David Padgett. He and Aaron discuss his one tumultuous year at Louisville, as well as what his future holds. But first, Aaron welcomes on his buddy Nick Coffey, as they discuss the bombshell report on LSU Thursday. Here is a rundown of today’s topics:

LSU could be in BIG trouble: Just minutes before taping, Yahoo put out a report in which LSU head coach Will Wade is alleged to have set up payment for a current player, believed to be freshman guard Javonte Smart. Aaron and Nick react in real time: Why this is such a bad look for LSU and what does the team do going forward? Will this impact the program? Will it impact the locker room? And why this hasn’t changed Aaron’s opinion that Wade has done an excellent “coaching” job this year, no matter how Wade got his players.

David Padgett joins the show: Next up, Aaron is joined by former Louisville coach David Padgett. He discusses his wild, one-year ride as Louisville head coach. What was the whirlwind like the day he got the job, what are his best memories and what does he wish he could do differently? Finally, how is he enjoying his new career in media? And does he plan on getting into coaching again?

We are about to enter the final weekend of the college hoops season, and the Aaron Torres Sports Podcast has you ready to go — recapping another wild weekend in the sport of college basketball. Aaron is re-joined by his buddy Nick Coffey to discuss:

Kentucky-Tennessee Part II: The Cats and the Vols met again in Knoxville on Saturday, and this time it went in favor of the Vols. Aaron explains why he isn’t worried from Kentucky’s perspective and why the Cats need to move on to the final two games of the season. Also, why it was dumb to ever give up on the Vols when they lost two straight. Also, would Kentucky prefer the two-seed in Louisville with Duke as their No. 1? Or to be a No. 1 seed elsewhere?

Zion Williamson Conspiracy Theories — Aaron and Nick show their thoughts on the latest with Zion Williamson. Aaron is convinced that we won’t see Zion again until the NCAA Tournament, while Nick wonders if Zion is completely done. Is Coach K hiding the injury so it doesn’t impact Duke’s NCAA Tourney seeding?

College Basketball Weekend Recap: The guys wrap up by talking about the other big stories in college hoops. What is to make of the fight between Nevada and Utah State, and why does everyone still doubt Gonzaga after they wrapped up another dominant regular season?

We’ve got ourselves a MASSIVE Aaron Torres Sports Podcast. Aaron answers all the big questions heading into the final few weeks of the season, like, ‘Who will get No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament and where is the college basketball coaching carousel?’ ESPN’s Robbie Hummel also joins the show. Here is a rundown of what you need to know:

Who will get the No. 1 seeds? Rather than breaking down the results of this week’s games, Aaron takes a deep dive into the No. 1 seeds. He explains why Duke is in real danger of losing a No. 1, but does it matter? Also, why this weekend’s Tennessee-Kentucky game isn’t as important as you think. Plus, the surprise team that could steal a No. 1 if they win out.

ESPN’s Robbie Hummel: The college basketball analyst and former Purdue Boilermaker joins the program. He talks about what it’s like to be a player this time of year — does the grind of the schedule wear you down? Also, is there really a title contender in the Big Ten? And what’s the biggest story in his mind in the final few weeks of the regular season?

Coaching Carousel: After talking to people he trusts all over the country, Aaron gives you an update on what he is hearing from the coaching carousel. He explains why the UCLA job may be tougher to fill than people think, and is Arizona set to open up with Sean Miller in more hot water? Who would be the best candidates there? Then he discusses a seemingly inevitable departure at Texas A&M and the big name who could come in there, and is it time to start talking about Mike Anderson at Arkansas?
